ABU DHABI, 26th June 2016 (WAM) --- Dr. Amal Abdullah Al Qubaisi, Speaker of Federal National Council (FNC), has received Arthur Milton Spiro, Ambassador of Australia to the UAE, who came to congratulate her on becoming the first woman in Arab countries and the whole Middle East to be elected as speaker of a national legislative body, and extend greetings on the occasion of Ramadan.

During their meeting, the pair discussed ways of promoting cooperation as well as the setting up of a parliamentary friendship committee to keep pace with the growth of bilateral relations between the two countries.
